The answer

First: A father's bequest of half the dwelling to the mother is impermissible without the consent of all heirs, and your eldest brother had the right to object.

Second: Your mother erred in preferring some of her children over others in the gift; fairness among them was obligatory.

Third: Your reconciliation with your brother was a good deed. As long as he accepted and was content, he has no right to demand anything now.

Fourth: If your sisters relinquished their right willingly and they are mature, they cannot retract their decision, because a gift becomes binding upon possession, and it is forbidden to revoke it.
